I am wanting to cut down on my klonopin (clonazepam) milligram by myself i am on 2.5 milligrams a day i want to get down to 1.5 howmuch should i decrease each week?

Don't do by yourself: I am happy you want to cut down but please do so with the knowledge, support and guidance of the doctor who prescribed it. Klonopin (clonazepam) withdrawal is a long slow process. I might start by reducing your dose by 0.25 mg every few weeks (not every week). See http://www.Benzo.Org.Uk/ for more info. Nutritional supplements, herbs, acupuncture and homeopathy can help ease withdrawal symptoms.
